Went Away without Her Bangs.

It isn't every girl who will tell on herself,
but one did. She came to the store and re-
turned fine pair of bangs she had bought
the day previously. "Can you not sell me
some that will not come Off"
Come off? Why, these will stay with

DUCK HUNTING IN THE BAYoUs.


Disappearance of Wailards and Teal
How Professionals Hunt.
The only explanation of the disappearance
Of the duel. flpm their former haunts near
the city Is ihe destruction Of the feed-wild
celery, water crcs wild rice, etc. During
the past month these plants have died in such
quantities that the ducks have fed to other
feeding places, and those that remain behind
are remarkably thin and have a iishy flavor.
The unusually low water in the river and in
thc sNamps, in consequence of which most of
the lagoons are dry. may have something to
do with the disappearance of these swamp
plants and the fight of the ducks.
The ducks have retired deeper into the
swamps, and Lake leray and Bayou des
Allemands have become The hunting grounds
for mallarls and teal The latter is one of
the oldest hunting grounds in the Union, and
the supply of game Is apparently as mex
haustihle today as it was century and a
half AGO when the Dutch hunters from whom
the bayou is named supplied the town of New
Orleans with ducks There are over 400 pro
feSsionaI hunters on Bayou des Allemands
| alone and from the single station of Bayou
| des Allemands, on the Southern Pacific roads,
no less than 1000, 900 ducks were shipped to
New Orleans last year, and as many as 12,md
| in a single day. The average number killed
| zach year hy a good professional hunter il
| .,mo
| The professionals hunt in parties Of from
| ten 10 thirty, and have regularly organze'i
| camps in the center of the swamp. They
| have their rHde hutS built in the higher
| patches Of ground. and running from their
| houses for miles back in the prairie are
| bitches that they have cut, and which they
keep always open 1t is thror'h thes
miniature canals that they push their pi
| rngues when searching for ducks Both sides
| of the bayou are cnmrlete networks of theS,'
| bitches, running in all directions. The mos
| rigid observance is maintained of the right;
| of ownership Of these canals It is this that
| prevents amateur hunters from accomplish
| ing much in the way OF shooting ducks a
| they have no use of these canals and are un
able to force their piroCues, or dug outs
| through the thick matted grass vcrywhert
covering the swamp Even the professional:
| find this grass very troublesome. and mert
than half the ducks killed are lost in it
Erarly all the best hunting grounds in TIN
bayou have thus leen taken up and the anna
tours are left oaly the outlying districts
where ducks are few and the hunting bad
just west of the duck fields are the snip
and woodcock grounds. in St Mary parish
where a good hunter will pick off $50 snip
and $50 woodcock a day Both snipe am
